County approves series of road, utility and development agreements tied to roundabouts and new subdivisions
Summary
The board approved agreements and property actions for multiple road projects: a Columbia Gas pipeline relocation for the Big Walnut roundabout, an owner's agreement for Ashford of Brookshire, and a property acquisition for a County Line Road roundabout connected with Intel-related work.
Delaware County Commissioners on June 16 approved several engineering and development agreements covering roadwork, utility relocations and developer contributions.
Lee Bodnar of the county engineer's office briefed the board on an agreement with Columbia Gas to relocate a gas line for the Big Walnut roundabout project at the intersection of South Old 3-C's Highway and Tussock Street Road in Genoa Township. The project is scheduled to begin this summer and continue into next year; Bodnar recommended approval of the relocation and reimbursement agreement (resolution 25-469).
The board also approved an owner's agreement requiring a developer to pay its fair share of road and drainage improvements for Ashford of Brookshire, an 8.4-acre site at the northeast corner of South Wilson Road and South Kalina Road in Brookshire Township (resolution 25-470). The engineer's office described the owner's agreement as standard practice for subdivision infrastructure contributions.
Separately, commissioners approved a contract of sale and purchase related to a property acquisition for a planned peanut-shaped roundabout at the intersection of South County Line Road and Centerville Road in Harlem Township. The acquisition is part of a multi-roundabout program in the area and, according to county staff, is tied to traffic work related to the Intel project. County staff said the roundabout work is funded in part by the Ohio Department of Transportation and is expected to start this fall with completion next year (resolution 25-471).
The board also approved a summary sheet for wider-work permits covering eight utility right-of-way permits (resolution 25-472). All of the listed measures were approved by unanimous vote.
